Overview

On this 4-day accelerated Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Customer Service course, you'll develop your understanding of the powerful Customer Service capabilities that you can use within Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Throughout the course you'll cover the following topics where you'll:

  • Agent Enablement: Learn how your organisation can nurture customer satisfaction through the automation of business processes.
  • Service Intelligence: Learn to utilise a database of articles to create an environment where users can quickly offer standardised answers.
  • Configuring 365 Voice of the Customer Solution: Dive into the platform tools that can be used to create and distribute surveys.
  • Unified Service Desk: Perform basic configuration for the Unified Service Desk for Dynamics 365.
  • Dynamics 365 for Field Service: Learn to understand and use the platform to create supporting items, such as Products, Price Lists, Territories, and Resources.

Your Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) will guide you through the course material using Firebrand's unique Lecture | Lab | Review technique. This approach combines both theoretical learning with hands-on tasks. This will accelerate your learning and ensure you leave us with the practical experience to implement your newfound knowledge when you return to work.

You'll sit exam MB2-718: Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Customer Service on-site, during the course. This is covered by your Certification Guarantee. This exam is an elective for the MCSE: Business Applications credential.

This course is aimed at sales operations managers, customer service managers, service schedulers, administrators or any similar roles looking to demonstrate an understanding of the Microsoft Dynamics application functionality.

Passing exam MB2-718 previously resulted in achieving the Microsoft Specialist: Dynamics 365 for Customer Service certification.

Microsoft retired the Specialist credential on 31 March, 2017. The exams remain available and where applicable will count towards the relevant existing MCSA, MCSE or MCSD certification.

Benefits

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering training. Courses that include certification come with a certification guarantee. Pass first time or train again for free (just pay for accommodation and exams on your return). We do not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes.

"When learning with Firebrand, everything is taken care of for you. This allows you to pour everything into absorbing and understanding your course content amongst peers."
ML, Griggster Limited. (3/10/2023 (Tuesday) to 6/10/2023 (Friday))

"Perfect instructor with much knowledge and the ability to bring it to the people. Thank you. The topic is huge but I would have expected a little bit more working together in the system."
Reinhard Decker, VAT Vakuumventile AG. (10/10/2023 (Tuesday) to 13/10/2023 (Friday))

"A great place to learn, with everything provided and catered for."
Anonymous. (18/9/2023 (Monday) to 20/9/2023 (Wednesday))

"Having never experienced this type of training before I wasn't sure what to expect. You immerse yourself in the topic for a number of days with an experienced and extremely knowledgeable trainer, along with fellow IT Pros who help out when required. Sure the days are long but you are covering a lot of topics in a short time and you can't fail to learn more than you ever thought you would. If you are serious about learning then there is probably no better way to learn."
